Holiday Home in Hayle near St Ives, Cornwall, England - Quiet Location but Walking Distance to all Amenities and Beach, only 20 minutes from St Ives

**Please know that we will be deducting the new OD service fee from any bookings made in the next 12 months**. Characterful detached house in a quiet position, close to the beach & set back from the road. Private south-facing, secure, sub-tropical garden, with fabulous estuary views, new decking and large levelled lower lawn. Opposite a quiet local pub & a short walk to Hayle town for shops, supermarkets, restaurants, train station, recreation ground/adventure playground & other amenities. The beautiful beach is just a 15 min walk through private lanes & grassy dunes; the 3-miles of pearly sands rarely get busy and offers great views to St Ives and the Godrevy lighthouse. Patrolled by lifeguards in the summer months, the beach is ideal for all water-sports, especially surfing. Great location for exploring all Cornwall has to offer - stunning coastal walks, secluded beaches, National Trust properties and other attractions nearby. Paradise Park is less than a mile away. The house is fitted with all mod cons & is perfect for families or groups of adults. All bedrooms recently redecorated & carpeted.

Superb well equipped holiday cottage

Spacious well equipped house within easy reach of a sandy,safe beach. Our family ranged from 7 to 70 so having attic space for teenagers a bonus. The owners attention to detail first class. The terraced garden with magnificent views over the estuary was a great place to get together in the evenings. Everyone had a great time -thanks

Guestbook comments from the owner

I am happy to say how comfortable we found your house at Phillack; our party all agree that the accommodation is very good. We took note of all the comments in the visitors book and used them as a guide to some very nice pubs and new places to visit. The weather was a little unkind this year but it was very comforting to get back to your house and make use of the log burner to put a glow back on our cheeks.

This is a lovely house, clean, tidy and well maintained. It was exactly as described with regard to nearby beach, supermarkets, etc. It was a pleasure to deal with the owner, Julie. I would certainly consider staying here again and would recommend it to friends and family. The only hassle we had was having to bring our own sheets and towels, this is not ideal when travelling by plane!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind review - we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry though that bringing your own linen was an inconvenience. When we started renting the house out the prices for local laundry services were very high so we decided to save our guests the money (which we would have had to incorporate into our prices) by letting them bring their own. I will, however, have another look into how much it would cost to provide linen and maybe we can offer it as a separate option in the future.

Absolutely brilliant holiday!

We had previously stayed in Hayle so knew this was where we wanted to be, one of the pubs we liked was the 'Bucket of Blood' so as soon as we found this house we knew we wanted to stay as its right opposite the pub! The house is beautiful, stunning views, plenty of room for us all (4 adults and 4 children) everything we needed was available from kids plates and cups to dishwasher and sky tv! Not that we did much tv watching! This part of Cornwall is so beautiful. We struck lucky with the weather so we were on the beach most days but we managed days out to St Michaels Mount, Healey's Cyder Farm, Roskilly's ice cream farm, Charlestown and St Ives. The house was a great base and the garden area was so peaceful and provided great space for the children. The owner is fantastic and provided us with all the info we needed. So fantastic we decided to book again for next year.

lovely house

A lovely clean house, with everything we needed for a holiday with our 2 year old daughter. The house is well situated, for the beach at Gwithian or Godrevy or to access the many attractions of West Cornwall, either north or south coast.

Location

From the Owner

“We have great friends in Cornwall and it was while visiting them that we fell in love with Phillack. It's a lovely (and little known) village on the hill overlooking the estuary & Hayle. We couldn't believe that such a place existed yet isn't totally over-run by tourists like St Ives five miles away! Easy to reach by train or on the A30 (with no windy one-track roads to navigate like in other areas of Cornwall!) it's just a beautiful part of the world. We couldn't believe our luck when this house came on the market, in such a great location but with such privacy and with estuary views. Now we've added the wood-burning stove and equipped it with everything we need for a relaxing break, it's our favourite place in the world, and we love hearing how others have enjoy it too.”

Activity and Interests

Coast/Beach:

The local beach (St Ives Bay) is a 10 minutes walk through private lanes & over grassland. With simply stunning views it is ideal for long walks - to Gwithian for a cup of hot chocolate in the Sunset Cafe, or further to the National Trust-run Godrevy Cafe overlooking the lighthouse. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards in summer and is very safe to swim at thanks to the lack of rocks and gently sloping soft sand. Many other beaches and secluded bays within 20 mile radius.

Travel:

Walking distance from Hayle main-line train station (5 hours from Paddington direct – sleeper service available). Newquay Airport 33 miles/45 mins away (the local car hire company can deliver a vehicle to the airport). Use of a car is recommended to explore the many attractions, although not necessary as town has shop, post office, pubs, restaurants, and there is a good train and bus network.

Facilities

From the Owner

“The best thing about the house is the garden. With a terraced lawn overlooking the estuary & Hayle, it's completely private and gets the sun most of the day... a wonderfully peaceful place to relax. The second best thing is the pub opposite the house! It is a quiet 'country' pub, renowned in the area for great food (in high season) and good ale. The other main benefit of the house is it's location: within walking distance in one direction to the beach, and in the other to town for the Co-op supermarket, surf shop and other amenities.
We've kitted the house out with everything we would want for a relaxing break, so hope other people find that it has everything they need. A fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and little useful things you can borrow like games, jigsaws, maps and umbrellas, as well as games and toys for kids should hopefully help people enjoy their stay.”
